String Instruments That Are Hard To Play

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

I am able to save all of my music instruments and notes and other things into my hard drive without any complications.

Great for the price, it's lacking polyphony(you can only play one string at the time), but even by more expensive units that I have (Axon, Roland) that function isn't perfect. So if you are guitar soloist and love to play other instruments, this could be your answer, in this price range off course . Chromatic switch is very helpful if playing piano, accordion or any other instrument that doesn't need pitch(string) bend. I'm connected midi out into Yamaha arranger and there is very little latency. Overall, very happy with the unit.

I was looking for Gaffer's tape that was good. It was hard to find the Shurtape/Permacel P-665. I found numerous brands. I have used some that are hard to tear, have a string loose when tearing off a piece or hard to pull off the roll. I don't use a lot of gaffer's tape, but want good tape when I use it. Some internet articles said that Permacel p-665 was the best. B&H had a good price. I like purchasing from B&H. So far I found the Shurtape/Permacel Gaffer's tape easy to use, sticks real well and did not leave a loose string when torn off the roll. I'll probably purchase this brand again.

Comes with pulls-string cloth case (free), so you may not need hard case, and soft bag takes a drop less space. On the other hand, hard case, more protective. You choose. :)

I play tenor sax and wished I saw a review like this. The harmony portion is based on singer and key of c instruments. Just add two flats to music for Bb instruments in my case and diel in new key for all harmony presets including harmony pedal and it will be spot on. People love the effects it produces. I still have to do my part.

I play and record many instruments and need an external mic for my iPhone. I chose the Rode Video Mic Me for it's price and I'm finding it definitely improves the audio quality on my iPhone recordings.

I have the Play 5 in my living room and it allows me to play all of my music stored on my external hard drive located in my office. I have two other systems in other rooms that now are connected to the Play 5 and can play the same or different music in those rooms. It is a great solution for providing my music through out my house.

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.
